Chapter 71 Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise
Looking at the designer brand in her hand and then at the box of expensive jewelry, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Even now, she still doesn't know whether Guan Yunmu knows that her daughter-in-law is actually "fake," and that her marriage to Yuwen Ye is nothing more than a transaction that deceived everyone.
If she didn't know, then Shang Ruyi could only listen to those words and let them go.
If she knew—
At this moment, Guan Yunmu said again, "Ye'er has a somewhat strange temper, and sometimes he's not so easy to get along with. But he's a good boy, and you—I believe you're someone who can understand him."
"..."
Shang Ruyi didn't know how to respond to that.
After hesitating for a long time, she said softly, "Mother, please don't worry, my second brother and I—we will, we will be fine."
Guan Yunmu nodded and smiled gently.
Perhaps because she had never spoken for so long before and was exhausted, Guan Yunmu's face gradually turned pale. She leaned back in her chair and coughed incessantly. Jin Yun hurriedly bent down to support her, and Shang Ruyi also asked, "Mother, does Mother need to take her medicine?"
Guan Yunmu coughed for a while before he could barely catch his breath and waved his hand.
"fine."
"..."
"I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Mother, your health is really not suitable for long journeys. This time, we're going to Liaoxi..."
Guan Yunmu looked up at her and smiled, saying, "I know you're going to help them persuade me, but you shouldn't try to persuade me."
At this point, she sighed and said, "The emperor issued this decree to see how we would react. The Duke is now in a precarious position; the slightest mistake could offend the emperor. I cannot allow him to be in such danger."
"..."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi felt both sorrow and gratitude.
Guan Yunmu, a person who is so cold and indifferent, has such a fiery and sincere love for her husband.
At this moment, Jin Yun noticed that Guan Yunmu looked unwell, so she looked up at Shang Ruyi and said, "Then, young mistress, please go back first. This servant will help you rest."
Having no other choice, Shang Ruyi could only nod and leave the East Courtyard with her belongings.
As she walked out, she was still somewhat flustered—having been married into the Yuwen family for so long, this place felt like an ice cave to her, but unexpectedly, everything suddenly changed.
But it didn't happen suddenly.
Guan Yunmu said that the matter was brought forward because she was going to Liaoxi with the Duke. He was worried that if she left, he would be young and inexperienced and have a conflict with Aunt Hui at home, which would cause unrest in the household or even bigger disputes. That's why he told me everything in advance.
He even gave her such an important official brand nameplate as a gift when they first met.
Although this was a good thing, for some reason, a sentence suddenly came to Shang Ruyi's mind—
Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.

Just as Shang Ruyi put her things back in her room and was about to go to the study, Yuwen Ye returned.
His complexion was not good, and his tall stature exuded an unsettling aura.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward: "How is it?"
The emperor ordered the Duke of Sheng to go to the Liaoxi front to supervise the transport of military provisions. Since it was an imperial edict, he naturally dared not disobey. However, how his family would deal with this matter was also a problem.
Yuwen Ye looked up at her.
Before he could speak, he saw the box on the table. He clearly recognized it and immediately frowned, saying, "That's—"
